Taking My Money Back Lyrics
Boy, you make it hard
You make it hard to leave
You make it hard (You're no good for me)
Every day and every night
You were out with your boys
Getting high while I worked hard to pay the rent
And my girls said I should
Lose you, but I stuck with you
Cause you promised to change
What I gave, you took
Nothing came in return
But I, I kept on giving baby
Cause the sex was so good
And your talk was so smooth
That I, I guess I bought it baby
Now I finally see
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
You're down on your knees
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
You know I really loved you boy
Ooh ooh ooh
And ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
When I found out about all your fooling around
Well I had, I had to cry about it
Then you said you're sorry
And you love me only
I should have left you right then
Now I finally see
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
You're down on your knees
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
You know I really loved you boy
Ooh ooh ooh
And ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
What a waste of a woman so fine
Now I finally see
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
You're down on your knees
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Ooh ooh ooh
Aye aye aye
What a waste of a woman so fine
You make it hard to leave
You make it hard (You're no good for me)
You were out with your boys
Getting high while I worked hard to pay the rent
Lose you, but I stuck with you
Cause you promised to change
Nothing came in return
But I, I kept on giving baby
And your talk was so smooth
That I, I guess I bought it baby
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Aye aye aye
You know I really loved you boy
And ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
Well I had, I had to cry about it
Then you said you're sorry
And you love me only
I should have left you right then
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Aye aye aye
You know I really loved you boy
And ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
Aye aye aye
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Aye aye aye
What a waste of a woman so fine
You were using me
And I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money
My money, my money back
Aye aye aye
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Aye aye aye
What a waste of a woman so fine

Can't get into this one, don't really feel like this is her talking here. She still has a great sound on this one but the writing...
I totally agree with you Soar. It's as if a totally different person wrote the songs on her last album. Her sound is still as unique and beautiful as ever, but the writing is suddenly so different. I like listening to simple songs like these because I often like the rhythm, but it doesn't fit her at all.
The song meaning is pretty obvious: someone she was in a relationship with took adventage of her and she isn't taking it anymore.
